Thinking About The Holidays

There are just 73 days until Thanksgiving, just 90 days (actually the evening of 12/8) until Hanukkah and 106 days until Christmas!

Do you long for a stress filled holiday season? I've been working on Holiday gifts for several months now. I have to.........I have 18 grandchildren! What a Blessing!

It's not to early to plan. What day will you celebrate with who? What gifts will you give? How much will you spend? Will you create your own gifts this year? What will you cook? Who will come? Planning ahead leaves stress behind. I used to tell my 4-H kids, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

I ran across this site that I subscribed to that hopefully will remind me to do certain tasks that I never thought of and that will help me to get things done. I have never recieved the emails so I can't totally say I agree with everything that is posted but I'm hoping it will help.

Beginning on September 15, 2012, they'll post daily holiday tips for a simpler, stress-free Christmas season. So go there and sign up to get a daily reminder that will help you have an organized Holiday season.

Just Who is Grandma Farmer and How'd You Get That Name?

If you read my "PAGES" at the top of the page you will begin to learn who I am. I've been a stay-at-home mom for most of my adult life. I homeschooled all my children all the way through high school and beyond. My husband and I have Biological children, adopted children and fostered children. Basically, since becoming children of God ourselves our lives have revolved around children having worked with children through church youth groups and even being Children's Pastors. Both of us being over 60 we are now raising our infant grand daughter.

We grew up in the city but love the country having spent most of our lives living in the later. I love the lives that God has given us to live. It's not always been easy but, He's walked through it all with us.

We currently have 18 grandchildren and hope we are not done yet. We love them all even though it gets hard keeping up with them all at times. It was one of our son's children (Danny and Jenny), who dubbed us Grandma and Grandpa Farmer as a way to talk about his/her different sets of grandparents. The name stuck.
